STI Short Machine Tap ISO 529 Form D HSS-G - M 14 x 1.0

• for cutting the oversize STI receiving thread before installing a V-COIL wire thread insert
• for M 14 x 1.0 when the insert system, pitch, and original thread specification match
• for machine-guided STI tapping where the selected tap form matches the repair process
• for preparation of receiving threads for wire thread inserts in thread repair work
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition

Note Match STI tools to the wire thread insert system and do not use an STI tap as a standard finished-thread tap.

• STI geometry is intended for the receiving thread used by wire thread inserts rather than a standard finished thread.
• The stated material and standard data support controlled selection for professional thread repair.
• The thread designation M 14 x 1.0 helps you match tap, insert, and original thread requirement.
• Using a dedicated STI tap reduces the risk of installing the insert in an incorrectly sized receiving thread.

• An STI tap is not suitable for producing a standard internal thread, so use a normal tap when no insert repair is planned.

1. Identify the original damaged thread and select the matching V-COIL insert system.
2. Prepare the hole with the required repair drilling step before tapping.
3. Clamp the STI tap in a suitable holder or machine setup with correct alignment.
4. Cut the STI receiving thread using the workshop process for the material and hole type.
5. Clean the receiving thread before inserting the wire thread insert.
6. Install the matching V-COIL insert with the appropriate inserting tool.
7. Remove the tang where the repair process requires it.
8. Inspect the repaired thread before returning the component to service.

Is this tap for a standard finished internal thread?

No, it cuts the oversize STI receiving thread used before a V-COIL wire thread insert is installed.

How do you choose the correct STI tap?

Choose the STI tap by the original thread, insert system, thread designation M 14 x 1.0, tap form, and hole type in the workpiece.

Why does STI selection differ from normal tapping?

STI tapping prepares the receiving thread for the insert, while the installed insert later provides the usable finished thread for the screw.

What should you check before using the STI tap?

Check the drilling step, alignment, insert type, hole depth, and whether the selected tap form fits through-hole or blind-hole work.

Can this tap replace an inserting tool?

No, the STI tap cuts the receiving thread, while a separate inserting tool drives the wire thread insert into that thread.
